Project Reality Forums

After countless hours spent on Basra and recently Op Archer, I have come to the most esteemed conclusion that the insurgents are being unrealistically played. The Taliban, Mahdi army and other militant factions do not have military training, to the standard of any nation. Consequently they do not fight like other armies. It saddens me to see people in PR playing the Insurgents like they would US Marines or British infantry. In real life, they don’t take careful, precise shots, aiming each one to perfection. They leap round the corner and spray for all their worth, then wonder why their gun has stopped firing whilst being torn apart by 5.56 fire. In real life, they do not execute masterfully planned room clearing tactics, they run inside the room, and shoot anything remotely western looking.

Therefore, from now on, whenever I am playing insurgents, I will be running a INS RP squad, dedicated to realistically using the insurgent faction to its full potential. This means, generally, getting shot. But having a damn good time doing so. I've made a few "test" squads, on some servers, and had pretty good results. The semi-auto switch was unknown to us, as we sprinted down the winding streets of Basra, unleashing 600RPM of doom at everything that moves, standing on roof tops whilst raining death down on those below, not hitting a thing. It was fun though. I welcome you all to join me, in my crusade against "gamerism" in PR INS game modes by forming similar squads of your own. Together, we shall destroy the Yankee-Zionist pig-dog invaders and their allies!

Remember, for the game to be fully realistic, the players have to do their part, even more so than the Devs.

LMAO! That paragraph cracks me up. I don't know just imagine that the best players on the insurgent side have had prior spetznaz training, or are elite hired mercs lol. Alot of players are actually "play" worse than RL insurgents though so it balances out I think. It's the equipment more than anything that creates the general balance and insurgents are at a major disadvantage in that department.

There should be an adrenaline feature for like the war vet or something.
